Archery equipment prices

I have been out of the compound bow game for probably 10 yrs now. Been wanting to get back into it , plan on going to Iowa this year or next. Love shooting 3-D. Been looking at all the new bows and accessories. I mostly shot Bowtech in the past and plan on shooting a few bows before buying one. But dang new bows and accessories are expensive. I know you don't have to have top of the line gear to kill a deer but I want to buy quality. And quality isn't cheap usually.

Save yourself a ton of money and buy last years model that the fan boys will be trading in any day now!!!

Yes it has gotten ridiculous. I'll keep shooting the one i got as long as i can still draw it comfortably. Hopefully I never have to buy another one.

You go Gucci along with all accessories you will be out 2-3k. It is ridonkulous

Same with guns.

Doesn't seem like that long ago I was buying S&W Revolvers on the car forums for $200-$300.

This is the way to go. Usually you can find a like new condition for 50% less than retail. With that said my go-to compound is a 2011 Bowtech Invasion. IMO that was the best hunting bow ever made…

You ain't kidding. $1300 is the new median price of a bare bow...and that's not even the flagship models. Unreal. Sights are $300-600. Those used to be target bow and sight prices. I picked up a used Mathews TRX 34 for target and was blown away by it. I'm currently looking for a black or slate colored one to hunt with!

Get Serious. Get Hoyt.

As stated above used is the way to go. Had my 2014 Carbon Element tuned after new strings and cables and was holding a year old 2023 Rx7 for $1000 bucks…half the price of new.

Nope, I'll keep shooting CE Gen3 until it breaks. IMO one of Hoyt's best bows shoots like a dream.
